While this recipe may not actually make something delicious (yet), it can save you a bit of hassle. If you aren't blessed with a huge kitchen and/or the time to be constantly cooking, it doesn't make much sense to have the full range of flours around the house - most of it will eventually just go stale. There are a few recipes I've used that work great, but call for self-rising flour. At work it's no problem, we have the full range of flours, but if I want to make these things at home on occasion, I'm a bit stuck - unless I'm making something crucial and very specific at home (we're usually not that formal), all-purpose flour is what we can count on having around as a decent middle of the road option. Well, if you've been holding off a recipe because you didn't want to buy self-rising flour, you may be in luck. This ratio is for converting one cup of all purpose flour, which we will use the common accepted weight of 4 3/8oz or 125g - a wise strategy would be to make more than you need, mix it very well, then measure from that supply. It is advisable to also omit or consider carefully any baking powder or salt amounts in the recipe, though it's unlikely they would be there anyway.
You will need:
1C - 4 3/8oz / 125g all purpose flour
1 1/4 tsp / 6.25g baking powder
1/4 tsp / 1/5oz / 5.7g salt
Method:
- If you only have a coarser salt around, send it for a spin in your coffee/spice grinder
- measure your ingredients together
- sift 2 or 3 times to ensure a good mix
- measure for the recipe and use
